Do you think Donovan McNabb overreacted to Rush Limbaugh's commentary? Do you think his assessment that Limbaugh is a racist is wrong? Are you tired of the everpresent double standard in this country regarding racism? If you answered yes to these questions forget telling the NFL about it...they're the problem, not the solution. However, you can tell one of McNabb's other employers: The Campbell Soup Company.

If you, like me, have decided that Donovan McNabb is just another race baiter, you can contact the Campbell Soup Company by CLICKING HERE.

You can tell them, like I did, you will not be purchasing any more Campbell's products as long as Donovan McNabb remains their spokesman. You can tell them that since he is their spokesman, Campbell's apparently agrees with his opinions regarding this issue with Limbaugh. Tell them whatever you like...just tell them.

Shilling for Campbell's is the absolute kiss-of-death in the NFL, anyhow. I expect his career will be in the toilet in less than three years.

[KriegerGeist]

I've switched to Progresso soups anyway.

I have always liked and respected McNabb. I really DON'T like his response to Rush, even though I think Rush was wrong. Rush never tied McNabb's ability to race; he thought the media covered him differently because of it. I can understand that McNabb was not happy at Rush's statement. But I thought his response was waaaay out of line. That said, too much has been made over this and I think it's time to just return to the sport. I may never quite see McNabb the same way again, but he's entitled to making errors too. That he won't be called on it is the fault of the media.

Rush made a tremendous blunder in making those comments. It was stupid, false and totally boneheaded. McNabb is not the issue here but rather some people's inability to recognize a stupid, indeed moronic, comment by one we generally love here.

McNabb was correct when he said "I thought we were beyond the race thing."

In order to know whether I should consider Donovan McNabb a "race baiter," as you call him, I would need to know what McNabb said. Can you give us some quotes in which he overreacts and calls Rush a racist? Thanks.

[Afronaut]

"I thought we were beyond the race thing."

I agree. It's time to hold people responsible for their actions. Rush must be taking pills or something. Only a Partisan could and would defend such a stupid remark. I would expect more from people but that is impossible. Rush is not my consevative guiding light. He is a guy on the radio.

[Calvin Locke]

I've given up most sports. Talking with a relative this week, he said McNabb is getting to that "age" for a professional football player.

Three years? Safe bet. More than safe since everybody agrees that he's erratic (performance-wise).

A double whammy would be to put him on the cover of both SI and Time in the same week. "They" [the liberal media] think they are giving
Limbaugh the finger, but the psychological damage to McNabb would more than give credence to Limbaugh's remark.

"McNabb was correct when he said "I thought we were beyond the race thing." "

Except the next time a head coach position opens up or the next quarterback is promoted to 1st string. We will never be beyond the race thing until affirmitive action is discredited completely. What Rush said was that affirmative action is alive and well in the NFL and media and damn the real stats.

[LongsforReagan]

Exactly. How is McNabb a race baiter. The fact is a pill popping ENTERTAINER who knows NOTHING about football stuck his foot in his mouth. People who look to Rush for ideas and leadership are SHEEP!

[Prodigal Son]

Well hold on now. Rush says something that gets him in hot water. Rush quits ESPN. And I should be mad at McNabb- a third party who was minding his own business before all this started? That doesn't make any sort of sense.

[J_Bravo]

Sighs, so rush says something about McNabb that could be construed as being raciall motivated. McNabb responds and now I'm supposed to boycott Cambell's soup?

I listen to Rush sometimes. I agree with Rush on a lot of things. But I think Rush was an idiot for what he said. Yeah, McNabb has had a tough start to the season but he has also been an MVP, had himself voted by fellow players (not the media) into the Pro-Bowl three times.

Passed for over 3000 yards in each of those seasons. Ran for more than 500 in each of those years too.

His skin color should have never been brought up like that.

Period.

Personally, I wish rush would have just stuck to the radio show.

[Imright2]

Thanks blake6900...done

Donovan McNabb is just another race baiter. I will not be purchasing any more Campbell's products as long as Donovan McNabb remains your spokesman since he is your spokesman, Campbell's apparently agrees with his opinions regarding this issue with Rush Limbaugh. Rush is no racist, but told his opinion about the MEDIA. Whatever happened to free speech. Why does your spokesman make it a black and white racist issue?

[Blzbba]

[Applause] Well said and I concur 100%

[Prodigal Son]

Donovan McNabb is just another race baiter.

I'm missing some key info here somewhere. Are you saying McNabb baited Rush into saying what he said? I had not heard that angle. How exactly did he bait Rush and why was Rush silly enough to fall for it?

[justshutupandtakeit]

McNabb is not an example of affirmative action any more than
a defensive back is or a lineman. He is not overated and Rush made an incredibly stupid statement for a man of his intelligence and political awareness. Talk about handing his enemies a club to use on him.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I am as partisian as the next guy but, having seen McNabb totally destroy my favorite team, the Bears, in the playoffs two yrs. ago, I will argue that anyone claiming he is not a spectacular athlete and possibly of Hall of Fame potential is full of crap.

Rush is great but, like any human, can say or do stupid things.
